Every day, 18 year old Nori walks to the Bauta station to listen, watch, and feel the vibrations of the passing trains.
His playful imagination leads us through the space as we witness his obsession and his sensory experience of arrival and departure. A glimpse of adolescence in the Cuban countryside.
